Slipper Type?

[ldrhawke]

Anyone have any idea of what type of flower I can expect to see from this large slipper I just purchased. I purchased it because I wanted a large orchid plant in an area that doesn't get a lot of light. I lost the tag that came with it so I am not sure what sort of flowers I may expect.

I have no idea what it might be, perhaps a mulitfloral (roth or something else), but this is really H U G E!!!!! Great purchase!!!!

You can send it to me and I'll tell you when it blooms exactly what it is!! HAHAHAHAHAoke::rollhappy::rollhappy:

It's a multifloral (probably Coryopetalum), as Biothanasis suggested. No idea which exact one though, we'll have to see the flowers.

Probably a multifloral, though it could be a huge bulldog complex too

 

[wonderlen3000]

It's multiflora type, and probably one of the Paph. phillipenensis hybrids judging from the leaves.

Maybe a dose of kolopakingii in there since it look about as wide as your forearm? You'll just have to bloom it and show us then.

Gigantifolium x ???

of course, it may not bloom if it doesn't get enough light.....

I like that! :evil: You might not ever know exactly what it is, contact the vendor.

It definitely looks like a multi....in which case it almost certainly needs high light.

I agree! If you just purchased it & it wasn't the only plant, the vendor should know.

Did you find out what your huge specimen paph was? Great plant.

yikes! either you have very small hands or that plant is larger than any slipper I've ever seen in person (actually I have seen huge phrags, but it's a paph)
